The present study was carried out to examine the ground water quality across the Vadodara city and to identify the areas which are most affected. Due to rapid urbanization, industrial growth nearby the Vadodara city may leads to increase in the ground water pollution level. Due to uncontrolled chemical wastes dumping nearby the industries, industrial effluent mixed with sewage and runoff water has arguably turned the local river Vishwamitri into big sewer, which ultimately leads to contaminate the ground water after leaching. To determine the ground water contamination level 8 sampling locations were selected for the collection of samples and various physico chemical parameters like pH, Conductivity, TDS, Total hardness, T. Alkalinity, Chlorides, Sulphates, Nitrate, Potassium, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Phosphates , Heavy Metals were analyzed .Analysis of these different parameters shows that ground water quality in few areas of Vadodara city is not very good as the analysis is showing high values of certain parameters that can create health problem.

Key Words: Ground water quality, Industrial effluent, Contamination.
